Solvent-free synthesis of titanosilicate zeolites†
Abstract
A solvent-free route is developed for synthesizing titanosilicate zeolites with good crystallinity, uniform crystals, high surface area, and tetrahedral Ti species in the framework. Catalytic tests show that S-TS-1 exhibits almost the same catalytic activity in hexane oxidation with H2O2 as that of conventional TS-1 synthesized by a hydrothermal route.
